The VT 40-2421 is an advanced telephone system, which uses a unique 6-digit
security code for operation. The VT 40-2421 Handset and Base unit are factory
programmed with a default security code, which allows you use the system after
charging.
NOTE: When using multiple Handsets, you must assign a 6-digit system
security code (shared by all Handsets and Base Unit), and each Handset must
be assigned its own unique HANDSET ID (extension) number.
Handset ID
The VT 40-2421 system supports up to 12 extension handsets. In order to use
the multiple handset capability of this product, you must first assign a 6-digit
security code. Please refer to Handset and Base Unit Security Codes before
proceeding with Handset ID.

When multiple handsets are added to the VT 40-2421 system, you must first
assign a unique ID (extension number) for each Handset, and then enter the
system security code. Valid ID numbers are 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10,
11 and 12.
Hold Reminder
The VT 40-2421 system has an option to activate a hold reminder, which plays
a brief tone to alert you that a call is on hold. Each handset is programmed
independently. All handsets linked to the system will be alerted at the selected
interval (15sec, 30sec, 45sec, or 60sec) unless OFF is selected.
CAUTION: Be careful not to assign the same Handset ID number to more than
one Handset.

Taking Care Of Your Telephone
Your VT 40-2421 cordless telephone system contains sophisticated electronic
parts, so it must be treated with care.
The Phone Doesn’t Work At All
Avoid rough treatment
•
•
•
Make sure the Handset Security Code is properly loaded into the Base Unit.
Make sure the Power Cord is plugged into the Base and Handset Chargers.
Place the Handset down gently. Save the original packing materials to protect
your telephone if you ever need to ship it.
Make sure the telephone line cord(s) is plugged firmly into the Base Unit
and the telephone wall jack.
Avoid water
•
Make sure the batteries are properly charged. If the low battery indicator
is shown, the battery pack needs charging.
Your telephone can be damaged if it gets wet. Do not use the Handset outdoors
in the rain, or handle it with wet hands. Do not install your Base Unit near a
sink, bathtub or shower.
No Dial Tone
•
•
First check all the suggestions above.
Electrical storms
If you still don’t hear a dial tone, disconnect the Base Unit from the telephone
jack(s) and connect a different phone. If there is no dial tone on that phone
either, the problem is in your wiring or local service. Contact your local
telephone company.
Electrical storms can sometimes cause power surges harmful to electronic
equipment. For your own safety, use caution when using electric appliances
during storms.
You Get Noise, Static, Or A Weak Signal Even When You’re Near The Base
Unit
Cleaning your telephone
Your telephone has a durable plastic casing that should retain its luster for many
years. Clean it only with a soft cloth slightly dampened with water or a mild
soap. Do not use excess water or cleaning solvents of any kind.
•
Household appliances plugged into the same circuit as the Base Unit can
sometimes cause interference. Try moving the appliance or the Base Unit
to another outlet.
Remember that electrical appliances can cause serious injury if used when
you are wet or standing in water. If your Base Unit should fall into water,
DO NOT RETRIEVE IT UNTIL YOU UNPLUG THE POWER CORD
AND TELEPHONE LINE CORDS FROM THE WALL. Then pull the unit
out by the unplugged cords.
You Get Noise, Static, Or A Weak Signal When You’re Away From The Base
Unit
•
•
•
You may be out of range. Either move closer to the Base, or relocate the Base
Unit.
The layout of your home or office may be limiting the range. Try moving
the Base Unit to another position.
Make sure the Base Unit Antenna is rotated up.

RJ14).
Your telephone company may discontinue your service if your equipment causes
harm to the telephone network. They will notify you in advance of disconnection,
if possible. During notification, you will be informed of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC.
A label is located on the underside of the Base Unit containing either the FCC
registration number and Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) or the IC
registration number and Load Number. You must, upon request, provide this
information to your local telephone company.
Occasionally, your telephone company may make changes in its facilities,
equipment, operation, or procedures that could affect the operation of your
